Starting November 2, 2026, the updated absence overview will be available in the Foundation Edition of R&R. The overview brings together information about absences, leave balances, and staffing levels in one place. Users can also make changes directly, without having to switch between different screens.
In addition, the processes for requesting, reviewing, and processing leave have been improved in several areas.
The updated absence overview provides greater insight into leave balances and staffing levels. It also allows you to perform various actions directly from the overview.
Detailed Overview of Leave Balances
The overview shows, for each employee, the current leave balance, expected leave accrual, approved leave hours, pending requests, and corrections. It also displays the expected final balance, which includes planned leave accrual and pending requests.
Better Assessing Leave Requests
Does an employee want to take a week off? Thanks to the projected final balance, managers can see in advance whether a leave request might result in a negative balance. This allows them to better assess whether the request fits within the available leave.
Taking Staffing Levels into Account
In addition to leave balances, the overview shows how many employees are present on a given day. This allows managers to take the store’s staffing levels into account when reviewing leave requests.
Quickly identify where action is needed
By sorting by balance, you can easily find employees who, for example, have a large number of outstanding TVT hours or a negative leave balance. This makes it easier to quickly identify situations that require attention.
Adjust Balances and Pay TVT Directly
Need to make a correction or pay out outstanding TVT hours? You can now do so directly from the absence overview, without having to switch to another screen.
Choose What You See
Users can choose which columns to display. This makes it easy to customize the overview based on the information that’s important to them.
More information about the improvements and features of the updated absence overview can be found on the R&R customer portal.
The process for requesting and processing leave has also been improved in several ways. For example, employees with temporary contracts can now request leave more easily, without encountering unnecessary error messages.
Does an employee work at multiple locations or have multiple employment relationships? If so, a leave request that overlaps multiple employment relationships will be visible to the relevant managers so they can review it. Managers can also adjust a requested leave period before approving it—for example, if they only want to approve part of the period.
In addition, the leave calculations have been improved. These calculations now take into account the correct employment status and the corresponding contract details. If a calculation is not possible, this is clearly indicated.
